Simon Monday & Wednesday Challenges - Thanks/Thanksgiving

Here are Simon Monday Challenge & Simon Wednesday Challenge - both are Thanks/Thanksgiving themes, below are the challenge photos:

 

And here is the card I made to attend both challenges:

I was inspired by Jennifer McGuire's "filled embossing folder" technique and would like to give it a try. I used Simon Says Stamp's Vine Canopy embossing folder to run through a kraft color cardstock. Then I flipped it to the other side and filled in gold glitter paste. Let it dry completely. Then I used the same embossing folder to run through a dark brown cardstock. I cut out the top portion of the glitter pasted filled background and attached it on the dark brown embossed background. Finish the card by die cutting "thanks" (from Simon Says Stamp's Script Thanks dies) on the card. Below is another look of the card:

Supplies:

Cardstock: PTI, Gina K Designs, glitter cardstock
